Volume 13, Issue 12:

Yesterday, an unprecedented and historic hearing took place in the United Nations, when the Palestinian Authority was finally asked questions regarding the unadulterated anti-Semitism and incitement to hate and to kill that imbues their educational system, their textbooks, their cultural and sports pageants, their media and speeches by their elected officials.

Says NGO Monitor CEO Gerald Steinberg, “Palestinians are being forced to deal with their own antisemitism, including in their textbooks. And, unlike the usual procedures in the Human Rights Council, members of this expert committee listened to the presentations from NGO Monitor, UN Watch and Impact-SE, and challenged the Palestinians.”

We thank UN Watch, NGO Monitor, and Impact-SE for their marvelous work in finally being able to expose this malignant problem.

Saudi Arabia must win in Yemen, not Iran

"The Senate on Monday did not override President Trump's vetoes of three measure to block arms deals benefiting Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, an unexpected but nonetheless serious setback for those who had hoped Congress would punish Saudi leaders for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi," The Washington Post reported on July 29, 2019.
